Speaking strictly as a passionate skier, and not as an employee or spokesman, I think this season turned out to be fantastic.
I saw more people enjoying the bumps than I ever have, anywhere. Traffic patterns changed entirely from past years. The half bumps/half groomed trails (Which Way and Lookin' Good) saw tons of traffic, and lots of happy families and happy beginning bump skiers. Cliffs was one of the busiest trails at the resort on nice weekends, and Encore has also become more popular. Not so many people elbow-to-elbow on the cruisers anymore. I have heard only positive (and a slight amount of neutral) feedback about our mogul philosophy. In fact, I have been approached and thanked for encouraging the learning terrain. People like it, people want it. They are learning, and they are having fun. I am happy!
Check the pix from today (3/25/09); the Jane ain't got nothin on Ellen :wink:
